How do I boot into DOS?

[Speed_Demon]

I've got some ugly virus that hijacks my PC whenever it use IE in XP under Parallels Desktop 3.0 for MAC. I received instructions on how to get rid of it -- but I have to boot into DOS to clean it up. Anyway, it appears that the function keys are different on the MAC. Does anyone know how you boot into DOS?

Hello Speed_Demon,

If you would like to remove some files from your Guest OS or modify them manually, you'd better mount virtual disks on Mac desktop (for this open Configuration Editor -> Shared Folders) and perform the planned actions on Mac side.

Best regards,

You cannot boot into DOS using function keys in Windows XP. It doesn't have anything to do with it being run in Parallels on a Mac.

(Where did you get the abbreviation "MAC"?)

You need a boot floppy image or a DOS boot CD.

I use AVG as my antevirus - what do you use?

simplest of all is to fall back onto an older clone another time
